This collection looks not at the Versace Man, but to the Versace Men. It represents a next step and move forward, not focusing on the singular but on multiplicity, progression, and diversity – exactly what I see valued by the new generation and the way they express their masculinity. – Donatella Versace
“Brand codes are synthesized to their fundamentals. Versace’s heritage of suiting is seen anew in soft, unstructured finishes which allow for ease of movement and create a fluid silhouette. Typically sartorial pinstripe and checks have a painterly finish, as if hazily drawn in pastel or watercolor across voluminous suit pants and unlined jackets. Wool jacquard knitwear and formal coats reimagined in brushed wool, cashmere, and silk blends revel in hand-feel. Bright, positive colors of cerise, pink, and orange are worn as solid blocks of color, while the brand’s heritage ornate prints are honed, rendered as stenciled bicolors like the new Barocco Silhouette. La Greca continues as a brand monogram, interplayed through cable knit sweaters and vivid lurex cardigans.” – From Versace
